I think the only ones that still accept them are either owned by the owner of thumblogger or those that are poorly maintained.

So, in the case where a bloghost would disable a site that doesn't meet the rules, whatever, but it carries over the existing link trades to the page where it says the blog is disabled, would that be a better deal for blog directory owners?
